Autumn, 1903: I'm back home! Thanks everybody for your understanding, let's unpause this. | |
Autumn, 1903: Everything ok, succesfull operation? | |
Autumn, 1903: Welcome back. | |
Autumn, 1903: I suspect that Russia might not really be back... | |
Autumn, 1903: should we look for someone else to take over? like we did for England? | |
Autumn, 1903: may be we should pause the game? | |
Autumn, 1903: if enough people want to we could draw or cancel this game. Not that I'm not enjoying the game but the 7 day phase is insane. |
|
Autumn, 1903: I actually kinda like the 7 day. don't need to check the site as often, so it takes less of my time. | |
Autumn, 1903: I would prefer not to draw, and I'm hoping we don't need to cancel either. There's a good chance Russia will be back shortly. If we all vote to pause, then we can get a mod to pause the game if Russia doesn't return. |
|
Autumn, 1903: Agree, I won't vote for draw | |
Autumn, 1903: Would you vote for a pause? If you vote, then we have the option of pausing the game if Russia doesn't return. | |
Autumn, 1903: Sorry, I wanted to say ( but I made a mistake) that I do not support the pause | |
Autumn, 1903: The cancel or draw can be an option | |
Autumn, 1903: We can't get a moderator pause without agreement from everyone who's still here. If italy isn't prepared to pause, then I guess we just wait to see if Russia is coming back before we do anything. I do think a short pause is reasonable- russia is clearly having health issues, and may return to let us know what's up soon. |
|
Autumn, 1903: I think a pause is reasonable too. | |
Autumn, 1903: If Italy is not willing, and is adamant about not pausing, then i can agree to a draw. | |
Autumn, 1903: I don't particually want to draw (since this game isn't really a draw anyway). I think it's better to cancel or play on. I've voted accordingly. | |
Autumn, 1903: For those who have yet to enter orders, I reckon you probably should- since this game won't be paused unless italy changes their mind. | |
Autumn, 1903: I wasn't even on. assumed that this would be paused. looks like austria thought the same. I think at this point with Russia gone this game just lost its fun factor. well at least for me :) | |
Autumn, 1903: I was enjoying this game a lot, but if the consensus is to end the game, I'd be happy to end it in a cancel. I am obviously advantaged by his NMR. Whether we draw or cancel, we have to wait for Russia to CD. I don't want to draw the game - If we draw, he gets a CD on his record, but if we cancel, he doesn't. He's clearly not absent because of a reliability problem - he's probably just had to go back to hospital. Because of that, I'd prefer to leave him with a cleaner record. It's the least we can do. |
|
Autumn, 1903: hey everyone, can we pls cancel this game already? | |
Autumn, 1903: An alternative is to advertise the position, but I think it is incredibly unlikely that anyone will take it. | |
Autumn, 1903: England just draw it so we can get a moderator to end the game. | |
Autumn, 1903: As above, I think a cancel is more appropriate. | |
Autumn, 1903: Its not our fault Russia is having medical issues. I of course feel bad for the guy but really that doesn't mean we should disregard all the work we've done for the past 3 months. | |
Autumn, 1903: These issues have also been pretty recent and haven't affected the majority of the game. | |
Autumn, 1903: An alternative argument is that it's not appropriate for us to have a draw on *our* records either - this game isn't even close to a draw result yet. Anyway, just as italy didn't have to pause, I don't have to draw. I will be happy to cancel this game though - if we get a consensus vote from the players, then we can get a moderator to push the vote through even though Russia hasn't voted. |
|
Autumn, 1903: I honestly don't care whether we draw or cancel, but i see England's point. the game is still in the early phases, so it makes sense to cancel. At the end of the day, it's just a game. so let's be reasonable and close this one. it's not like we are gaining anything by being adamant about finishing it, it's just for fun. | |
Autumn, 1903: It's funny to see how England and France who are on the way to winning the game are willing to cancel, but Austria and Italy are not. | |
Autumn, 1903: France is also willing to draw, while England is the only one not willing to. | |
Autumn, 1903: As England has the right not to draw it me and Italy have the right not to cancel it. | |
Spring, 1904: I don't know how this works but will Russia go into Civil Disorder after this turn or do we have to get the mod to remove him, so we don't have to wait for his moves? | |
Spring, 1904: after missing 2 phases in a row a country usually goes into CD | |
Spring, 1904: cool, good to know. so should be this turn then | |
Spring, 1904: PSA: England is going to win this game unless we do something to stop it. Its time to put away individual interests and push for a draw. Yeah a 5 way split isn't great but its better than nothing. | |
Spring, 1904: yeah i've been saying that all along.but some people don't wanna listen. | |
Autumn, 1904: Have you, Turkey? That's very interesting :) To France- this is a Points Per Supply Centre game, which encourages strong seconds. So, there's not a lot of incentive to stop a solo run unless it takes (many) centres from you. Italy, Austria and Turkey have nothing to worry about from an English solo. Lastly, I'm still down to cancel this game. I entered these moves expecting a cancel - I would have stuck with France if I thought this game was going to play out. |
|
Autumn, 1904: well austria thinks he is gonna win the game, so why should he cancel. | |
Autumn, 1904: I still don't think it's appropriate to draw this game at this point - but I won't go on about it. However, if we go to play on, I'll be taking my cancel vote down at the end of next game year. | |
Autumn, 1904: Hello world. Taking over a ruined nation with 2 SCs left is not the best deal, but I thought this game needed a new spin. Plus I like it when it never ends :) | |
Autumn, 1904: Thanks for joining us :) | |
Autumn, 1904: Well, that was unexpected. Thanks for taking over Russia! This game just got a whole lot more interesting. | |
Autumn, 1906: That was a dirty one, England :) Anyway, Austria already ruined the game... and PPSC is definitely not for me. So long, guys, see you around! |
|
Autumn, 1906: yeah Austria just ruined everything. Good game. | |
Autumn, 1906: The impeding Austrian CD is pretty disappointing. I don't think I'll be playing another 7-day phase game. | |
Autumn, 1906: For me longer term games are better, because I don't waste too much of my time on a daily basis :) but yeah it does suck when someone goes CD after all that time. | |
Spring, 1907: now that it's only the four of us left and England is about to win, can we just speed things up? | |
Spring, 1907: Fine with me. | |
Spring, 1907: sorry about the delay | |
Autumn, 1907: Are you guys waiting for me to take over Austria now? :) |
